> I guess that Parnate --like every psychotropic drug out there-is no panacea or magic pill since I *have* experienced short but relatively mild episodes of anxiety from stressful situations/ circumstances. But, for let's say 99% of the time, it is wonderful at helping to prevent anxiety from mushrooming or lingering past one or two days, if some unwanted situation should occur. I hope that I've answered your question.

>parnate is so cool. it seems like stimulating drugs = more anxiety, sedating drugs = less anxiety
but parnate gives you something for nothing. you get kick @#$ stimulation + less anxiety!
i can't think of any other way to be more wakeful without increasing anxiety... low dose abilify seems pretty good ... but parnate is still the king when it comes to a) lots of good effects, b) few (any?) bad side effects
having said that, low dose abilify keeps me stable and awake and seems to have no side effects..... so i'm starting to think it IS possible to be 100% without side effects ....
i am so jealous of people who get full anxiety relief, no apathy and no sexual side effects from SSRIs
